LEGALIZATION

TRU moves to outlaw cannabis use

Proposal would see pot use banned on campus while alcohol and tobacco remain allowed TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

hen cannabis use is legalized on Oct. 17, don’t bother lighting up on the campus of Thompson Rivers University. The institution has taken steps to ban cannabis use on campus while declining to take a similar stance on alcohol or tobacco. A draft university policy on alcohol, cannabis and tobacco lists recreational cannabis use as “prohibited,” while allowing for medicinal use provided the user can produce a prescription from a “qualified physician.” Drinking alcohol in licensed premises and smoking tobacco in designated areas would be allowed under the proposed policy. TRU spokeswoman Darshan Lindsay said the university hopes to have a policy in place before cannabis legalization in October. She said the school reached out to other universities before crafting its draft policy. Minutes of a meeting of TRU’s joint health and safety committee from March show a unanimous vote to classify marijuana an “intoxicant” and ban its use on campus. Pat Barringer, trades instructor and co-chair of the committee,

said his concerns regard student safety. “My problem with this is I work with machinery in the trades building,” he said. “There’s no way in hell you can smoke pot or drink beer and then operate machinery.” Psychology professor Chris Montoya, another member of the committee, also expressed safety concerns. “A student cannot get drunk

walking next to another student drinking a beer,” he told KTW. “However, students, staff and faculty can get stoned breathing

in second-hand smoke.” Lindsay said the school is treating cannabis differently than alcohol because of safeguards that are in place for drinkers. “Really, the difference is that there are currently, in terms of alcohol, some significant systems in place to control sale and consumption,” she said. “Those systems don’t exist for cannabis. It is a new area.” See PROPOSED, A4

Emergency crews are searching for a missing person believed to have been in a vehicle washed away during a mudslide near Cache Creek on Saturday. The accident occurred in the 3300-block of Highway 99 at about 5 p.m., RCMP Sgt. Janelle Shoihet told KTW. “At this point we’re still trying to get in touch with that person’s family in order to be able to release the specifics,” she said. Valerie Morris, 57, is missing after apparently being washed away in the slide. Morris and her husband were driving along the highway when the mudslide hit. Her husband, who was driving, escaped the vehicle but Morris has not been seen since the incident. Highway 1 was closed 23 kilometres west of Savona on Saturday, but has since been reopened in both directions. Motorists are asked to watch for debris.

Accused in Blind Bay shooting death walks free Jeremy Davis not guilty for his part in 2011 drive-by slaying JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Jeremy Davis put his hand to his chest as the judge rendered his verdict: Not guilty. “I’m just glad that it’s over,” Davis told KTW outside of B.C. Supreme Court. He was followed by a group of supporters who cheered, cried, clapped and gave accolades. The man went free after facing a manslaughter charge for his involvement in the shooting death of a Shuswap drug dealer in 2011. He was formerly charged with second-degree murder. Nick Larsen, 24, was killed on June 1, 2011. Jordan Barnes pleaded guilty in 2016 for second-degree murder related to the incident. He was sentenced to life behind bars with no chance of parole for 10 years. During his decision on Tuesday, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley noted discrepancies in testimonies and evidence. He outlined an altercation originating at Barnes home that sent him enraged and intoxicated to “shit kick” Larsen. Barnes’ testimony in February claimed he and Larsen became involved in a turf war over drug sales in Blind Bay the day before the shooting. According to Barnes at the time and as reported by KTW, Larsen pointed a gun at his chest and told him to stop sell-

ing drugs in the community. Dley also detailed an incident in which Barnes thought his pregnant partner had been assaulted by Larsen. Davis said he drove Barnes to calm him down and happened upon Larsen in a Volkswagen, when Barnes pulled out a gun and shot and killed Larsen. In February, Barnes said he got into the passenger seat of Davis’ SUV — with Davis at the wheel — to go searching for Larsen in Blind Bay. Barnes told the court he saw a handgun slide out from under the passenger seat and he used it to kill Larsen. Barnes changed his story in April, claiming the gun was actually his and Davis knew nothing about it. Dley noted discrepancies in evidence and went so far as to say testimony by Davis “stretched credulity.” Dley instead looked at the

evidence as a whole, noting testimony must be “scrutinized.” He said it was reasonable Davis knew Barnes would get in a confrontation with Larsen when he drove Barnes. Dley accepted evidence from a traffic analyst who said the SUV cut off Larsen’s vehicle before the shooting. However, Dley said the evidence was consistent that David did not know Barnes had a gun and, in accepting that the gun slid out from under the vehicle’s seat, he said Barnes did not intend to shoot Larsen. “On an objective basis, Mr. Davis did not foresee bodily harm,” Dley said. He said the Crown did not prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt, which led Davis to walk out of the courtroom a free man. It is unclear whether or not the Crown will appeal the decision.

Proposed policy up for potential final review later this month From A1

The university’s food-services branch operates The Den, a licensed bar inside the Campus Activity Centre, and various campus events regularly obtain liquor licences from the provincial government. But, according to the proposed policy, those events could be in for some changes, as well. University and campus events at which alcohol is served will have to meet strict new guidelines, the proposed policy dictates, including limits on advertising and branding language. “Advertising of events must be responsible, in good taste and not promote alcohol as the focus of the event,” the draft policy reads.

“Terms that promote immoderate alcohol consumption such as ‘bash,’ ‘drunk,’ ‘kegger,’ ‘wipeout,’ ‘blackout,’ ‘rager,’ etc. are not permitted.” Lindsay said that could mean some events have to change their name. “By being clear on our policy around language, it helps define what we mean when we talk about consuming alcohol in a responsible manner,” she said. “Any events that take place on campus would fall under these regulations. The exception is personal residences [student and private housing].” TRU Students’ Union external vice-president Cole Hickson said he was unaware of any potential changes that might have to be made to the union’s annual Last Class Bash event,

an on-campus party which features beer gardens prominently. “I don’t think there’s going to be any problems with that,” he said. “I’m pretty sure TRU will respect the event.” According to Lindsay, the alcohol and tobacco policies were due for an update and the university had to take a stand on cannabis given its impending legalization. “The proposed policy is in keeping with our approach to foster a safe and healthy environment for all who are on campus, and that this environment supports the best educational opportunities for our students,” she said. Lindsay said the proposed policy is slated for review by the president’s council later this month.

Wildfire smoke to linger in Kamloops Socked in since Saturday, conditions are not expected to improve until at least next week MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Smoky skies are expected to overstay their welcome, lingering for at least another week — but that bit of rain on the weekend has seen the fire-danger rate drop a bit in the Kamloops Fire Centre. Environment Canada anticipated the haze would lift last weekend as thunderstorms and windy conditions moved through the Kamloops area but, while some smoke was pushed out, more made its way back in and is now trapped under a ridge of high pressure. “There’s just such a steady supply of wildfire smoke no matter where the winds are blowing from these days,” said Environment Canada meteorologist Matt MacDonald. Windy conditions essentially fanned the wildfires, he said, noting there were gusts measured at 70 km/h at the Kamloops airport Saturday afternoon. As for the fire rating, “it is mainly low within the Kamloops, Lillooet and Vernon zones and then there’s moderate within much of the Merritt and Princeton zones and there’s some high in the Penticton zone,” said fire-information officer Marla Catherall. The air-quality health index for Kamloops last week ranged from four to six (moderate risk) but, as of Monday, it was listed above 10 (very high risk) for the first time this fire season. “In these situations, we just encourage people to avoid strenuous outdoor activities, especially children and the elderly,” MacDonald said. There are about 600 active wildfires burning across the province. A ridge of high pressure over Kamloops last week held smoke from around B.C. and fires in Washington state in the valley. MacDonald said wildfire smoke from the Nechako region north of Kamloops then blew in overnight on Sunday and a second consecutive ridge of high

Smoke not impacting flights: YKA Smoky skies in recent days have not had an impact on air traffic at the Kamloops Airport. According to Nav Canada, visibility in Kamloops on Monday was approximately two miles, or 3,200 metres — well within the range of Fulton Field’s operational necessities. “We’re able to operate with a runway visibility range of 2,600 feet, about 800 metres, before we’d be affected by visibility,” YKA managing director Heather McCarley told KTW. “So far, we’ve seen no operation impacts and no flight impacts.” Smoky skies caused some flight cancellations at Kamloops Airport during last summer’s record-setting wildfire season. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW The wildfire smoke in the skies above Kamloops is coming from a number of sources, officials say. There are 600 fires burning in the province, in addition to more blazes in Washington state.

pressure is keeping it in place. “Any time we have these ridges of high pressure, it makes for a very stagnant air mass,” MacDonald said. He said ridges like the one now over the city are common in the summertime for Kamloops, but it has been “particularly ridgy” this year as long-lasting blankets of high pressure have dominated the weather pattern.

Wildfire smoke is also covering a vast majority of the province, he said. While any amount of rainfall is helpful, Catherall said conditions can dry out quickly and it’s important people remain vigilant and report any wildfires. In the Kamloops Fire Centre, crews are dealing with 92 active fires — 58 per cent of which are believed to have been caused by lightning. Catherall said 40 new fires sparked on Sunday, most in the Vernon and Penticton fire zones. A total of 155 fires have burned within the fire centre so far this year, burning a a total of 28,712 hectares of land. Last year, there was a much larger amount of fire activity in the fire centre as

128,627 hectares of land was burned up by 179 fires by Aug. 13. MacDonald said it’s possible there will be a trough of low pressure move through the province next week that may push out the smoke momentarily. “As long as those wildfires remain burning, we’ll have temporary relief from the smoke and so what we need is rain to help alleviate these wildfires,” MacDonald said, noting there isn’t much rainfall in the forecast around the province. Last Saturday, a little less than 6.5 millimetres fell in Kamloops, the first drops in eight days after receiving 2.5 millimetres through the first three days of the month. Temperatures in Kamloops cooled off from highs up to 40 C before the weekend to a high of just 18 C on Sunday. The high Wednesday is expected to top 30 C.

YOUR GUT BACTERIA AND YOUR MOUTH … ARE THEY CONNECTED?

When people come to my office for a consultation, it is often with complete shock and surprise and often with a slight “guilt”: “I know I should floss more but nothing hurts so not sure why I am here!?” It’s not about “not flossing” but more serious than that. Firstly, gum disease is NOT painful (like a toothache) and yet it is the number one disease that affects the entire world’s population! If you can believe it! Gum disease is actually about your immune system, not your teeth. There are over 100 trillion pathogens in your gut and this is called the MICROBIOME. Bacteroides and Prevotella are the two main species of bacteria that are most prevalent today in your gut and out number E. coli 1000x. Coincidentally, these are the TWO main pathogens that are the main culprits of gum disease! Researchers have proven that as our diet changed from cave man days, it has skewed the bacteriae in our gut as well. The mouth and gut are one long tube so these 2 species are becoming more promient in your mouth today as well, from your gut. In addition, it is your immune system and its ability to fight this microbiome that is responsible for our loved ones having more obesity, diabetes, crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, allergies, asthma, fibromyalgia etc. All are related to metabolism and loss of autoimmunity from your gut. Resulting in lots of hype on probiotics, prebiotics to re-establish the natural microbiome. Additionally, if you have any symtoms of gastric reflux and a compromised immunity due to these two bugs in the oral cavity, is there any wonder that you cannot fight these species and gum disease progresses. Even primate monkey studies showed the same conversion to these two bad bugs when they are confined in a zoo versus in the wild. Yet the answer to losing your teeth from gum disease is not dental implants. If you have had gum disease, Bacteroides and Prevotella have caused this tooth loss. These bugs are still in your mouth when you have dental implants placed and are still living in the gastrointestinal tract. Newsflash...if you have lost your teeth due to gum disease, your NEW dental implants are at even higher risk of inflammatory disease around implants. So there is an easy fix for gum disease, just recognition and simple diligent treatment. It is not rocket science. Talk to your dentist or hygienist or see your friendly neighbourhood periodontist! Keep on flossin!

Mayor wants more services to help deal with opioid crisis JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The mayor told the regional health authority Tuesday that Kamloops needs another Car 40, 24-7 wraparound services and recognition crimes of opportunity reported by police occur in the same areas of the city where overdoses have been attended by ambulance in the past year. “We need to do more in Kamloops about this,” Mayor Ken Christian said. The mayor invited Interior Health Authority officials to speak during this week’s regular council meeting. Medical health officer Dr. Karin Goodison called mobile consumption sites an important service. The innovative harm-reduction approach was approved by council before last year’s byelection. IHA touted it for reducing overdose deaths, the transmission of blood-born infections

and referring people to other services. IHA reported 7,100 total visits from June 2017 to July 2018, including 22 overdose reversals. It also reported no deaths. IHA noted 634 referrals were initiated for things such as grief services, withdrawal management, shelter and food. “We see a lot of youth,” IHA health services administrator Rae Sampson said. The mayor and some councillors, however, expressed concern about improperly disposed sharps in the community. “It is a risk to the community,” Coun. Donovan Cavers said. Asked how many needles are distributed each year, IHA said 257,000 syringes were ordered from the BC Centre for Disease Control for the Kamloops mobile-health area in 2017. Those syringes go to other communities outside of

Ray Dhaliwal said a needle buyback program started by community members has been working, with thousands of needles taken off the street, and encouraged expansion. The program has drawn the ire of the health authority, however, with IHA chief medical officer of health Dr. Trevor Corneil noting the program has negative impacts that are not understood. “Harm reduction is not just about them,” Dhaliwal said. “It’s about the general public as well.” Coun. Arjun Singh asked for a “collaborative solution” to a short-term crisis during a long-term issue. He said he is worried about going forward without a clear solution.

The City of Kamloops has installed new LED lighting in the Sandman Centre that will use 50 per cent less power than the old lights when used at full demand in the 5,500seat arena. Cost of the project is estimated at $417,000, offset by a $39,000 grant from BC Hydro, stated a municipal press release. The release noted LED lights consume less power and produce less heat, which means less heat dissipation, which helps with the costs of heating and cooling the building. The lighting also has instant on/off capabilities that avoid warm-up delays. The new lights come with dimming and theatre-style controls for events such as Blazers games, opening ceremonies and concerts, creating a more dynamic user experience.

LOCAL NEWS SMOKY SKIES

Doctor says smoke in air a health concern DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Royal Inland Hospital hasn’t seen any spike in the emergency department of patients with respiratory issues — but that doesn’t mean the air isn’t causing problems for people, its chief of staff said. Dr. Todd Ring said most people with chronic lung conditions know what can trigger complications — like the blanket of smoke covering the city — and they will take steps to avoid them. Usually, that means staying inside or keeping to locations where air quality is controlled. “This [fire season and associated smoky skies] takes a toll,” Ring said. “There is going to be an impact.” He said the current situation with hundreds of fires throughout

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Royal Inland Hospital chief of staff Dr. Todd Ring said the hospital’s emergency room has not yet noticed an uptick in smoke-related cases, but that doesn’t mean people are not feeling the effects of the hazy skies.

the province might also trigger flashbacks for those evacuated or who lost property during last summer’s fires.

“We live in the most beautiful place in the world with all these recreation opportunities and we can’t do them,” Ring said.

Not being able to go out for a walk, go fishing or jogging or just being in the great outdoors can have a negative impact on a person’s mental health, he said — with “a double whammy.” There’s the emotional frustration of being housebound but there’s also the fact staying active stimulates endorphins, hormones secreted in the brain and nervous system that can trigger a positive sense. Limited activity means limited endorphins and that can fuel a sense of depression or weariness about the environment. As for people wearing masks when they do go outside, Ring said if they’re not N95 types, which are designed to have a close facial fit, they’re really just making it harder to breathe wearing something that is likely uncomfortable as well.

Flights to Toronto set to return Air Canada’s Rouge airline will fly back to Kamloops next summer with its non-stop route between the River City and Toronto. Heather McCarley, manager director at Kamloops Airport, said she heard from the national airlines communications department of the decision to bring back the schedule it introduced this year. At the time, Air Canada said flights had to be more than 80 per cent capacity to justify the flights. The first departure this year was at 66 per cent capacity. The flights went three times a week in the summer, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Plans are to see Rouge landing and taking off in June 2019, and continue to sometime in early September.

Ottawa sending crews, equipment to help B.C. fight wildfires KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The federal government is sending help to B.C. as firefighters in the province grapple with about 600 wildfires. Responding to a request from Mike Farnworth, the province’s minister of public safety, the federal government will be sending about 200 troops to help in mopop duty. They’ll arrive with equipment to help with medical evacuations and to move people in remote communities who may be in

danger from the ongoing summer fires raging across the province. They’ll be working with the B.C. Wildfire Service, which will provide the required protective and firefighting equipment along with incremental training as required for the tasks. The province also asked for heavy-lift aircraft to reposition wildfire crews and equipment to new fire starts threatening communities. Across the province, fire crews are responding to about 600 active wildfires.

Since last Thursday, firefighters have responded to more than 200 new wildfires, most of which can be attributed to widespread lightning activity in the province. On Saturday alone, there were 143 new fire starts recorded in the province. The request from Mike Farnworth comes amidst forecasts for continued hot, dry conditions that carry the risk of further lightning strikes, and weeks of the fire season remaining. “Given the fact that there’s already so many fires on the land-

scape that we’re responding to, we’re really urging the public to exercise an abundance of caution to make sure they’re not adding any additional human caused fires to that mix,” Turcot said, noting there is a campfire ban in place for most of the province. As of this week, there were 27 evacuation orders affecting approximately 3,100 people from 1,537 properties, in addition to 43 evacuation alerts impacting approximately 17,900 people from 8,909 properties around the province.

More than 3,400 dedicated wildfire personnel are responding to the wildfires burning in all areas of the province. That figure includes BC Wildfire Service firefighting crews, contractors, municipal firefighters, industry personnel and out-of-province crews from provinces across Canada, as well as Mexico, Australia and New Zealand.

HAZY VIEWS A SMOKESCREEN

ndeed, these are hazy days. No, it’s not the forest fires ravaging the province that concern us — it’s our friend, Mary Jane. Her big day is fast approaching (Oct. 17) and yet, those in charge of logistics seem to be a little slow in administering their expertise. Wait — isn’t slowed-down reaction time what they say will happen when driving under the influence of marijuana? Oh, the irony. Earlier this month the federal government announced it would launch a three-year study on the effects of cannabis on drivers. It’s just the latest example of how government has little idea how to handle the lady and her greenery. Cannabis is not a new concept. Nor is driving while “high” on it. People — not just teenagers — have been cruising this country, along the Trans Canada Highway and all roads in between, under the influence of cannabis for decades. To be clear, we’re not saying we recommend doing so. We’re saying stop playing catch-up, consult some folks with lived experience and sign on the dotted line already. Misinformation and a lack of good scientific data about cannabis’ effects have created an astounding amount of hysteria and the uncertainty has also created some questions. Does the person living with long-term chronic pain who gains relief using medicinal cannabis have a higher chance of having their licence revoked? Does indulging in cannabis one evening — as many do with a spirit of their choice — mean you’ll need a lift to work in the morning? People drive with hangovers, do they not? Gauging the navigable skills of someone with THC in their system is tricky, but to measure this substance as we do alcohol is a classic case of apples and oranges. Either way, while the feds spend three years asking participants to parallel park in “simulated driving scenarios,” the rest of us will be on actual roads with drivers high on energy drinks, summertime heat waves and who knows what else, as we always have been. — Black Press

Some pooling thoughts

erewith, a hodge-podge of things that aren’t worth 600 words: • Thanks to the city for realizing that it’s still hot out there, kind of smoky too, and people might need to use one of our muchtouted Tournament Capital Centre pools to try and get some relief. Still waiting for a reply from the city with an explanation why it always seems to pick two of the hottest weeks of the year during a season when it’s now almost normal for the air quality to be poor to close the aquatic centre on McGill Road for maintenance. If an answer ever comes, I’ll pass it along. • Those three new industrial-sized sharps bins were installed in the city earlier this week. They’re at the washroom at MacDonald Park, a location just outside MacArthur Island and at the mini-storage facility at 48 West Victoria St., just across from city hall. Many thanks to Natalie Serl, the city’s acting social and community development supervisor, for keeping KTW updated so we can pass the information along to you. Three earlier emails to the department overseeing it — not to Serl specifically — received no reply. It may be a new attitude at city hall since emails with

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL questions for bylaws also received no reply. Things like this make it challenging to continue to provide accountable local news. • Anyone driving down Seymour Street might have done a double-take at the big For Sale sign at the location previously occupied by Big Brothers Big Sisters Kamloops. Helen Brownrigg, executive director of the new larger Central and Southern Interior of B.C. chapter, said they are moving to a new location and more news will be forthcoming. The regional branch was created earlier this year as the local group looked for assistance to keep things going. Financial woes had beset them given they have had to raise about 40 per cent of their annual $400,000 budget. • Let’s all send out a big thank you for the folks who work hard to keep us entertained and fed during the summer season. First, there’s

Henry Small, who manages every year to put together two months of nightly music at Riverside Park. He also creates a program that has something for everyone — even hip hop this year — and mixes local with new to keep things alive and fresh. Then there are the Rotary clubs that turn the park into one big rib-tickling buffet of taste sensations, raising money to help other organizations in the city. Running alongside it in recent years has been the annual Hot Nite in the City, put on by those lovers of vintage and unique automobiles. Coming up is Overlander’s Day on Aug. 19 at McDonald Park. It’s a day full of fun including dancers, drummers, strummers, singers, a pie-eating contest, food options and a kids zone, all pulled together by the Kamloops North Shore Business Improvement Association. It starts at 9:30 a.m. And don’t forget the annual Labour Day Picnic event, also at McDonald Park and sponsored by the Kamloops and District Labour Council. In addition to community booths, keep an eye out for some of those who have announced plans to run in the Oct. 20 municipal election. Some of those announced already were at the picnic last year promoting themselves for the by-election. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR OUR CAREGIVERS Yes, it is an old building, but it’s the atmosphere that makes all the difference. I think we all forget here in Canada, being a very privileged first world country, just how truly fortunate we are and how truly grateful we need or should be for all that we have and enjoy.

Human beings can be very judgmental, but a visit to a Third World country will change all that. In fact, I think it would be a great idea if every high school student had the opportunity to visit a Third World country so that they would never take

for granted what we have come to expect and become used so used to in this country. I am so thankful for the wonderful care givers that we have in this city (and country).

RICK KOCH/BLACK PRESS It may be months before the building housing the RBC Royal Bank in Chase can be rebuilt following a weekend fire that gutted the structure.

Chase bank destroyed by flames Investigators still working to determine what caused damaging Saturday fire MARTHA WICKETT

BLACK PRESS

Police are investigating a fire that destroyed a bank in the Shuswap early Sunday. Emergency crews were called to the Chase RBC just after 4 a.m. on Saturday and found the ATM vestibule fully engulfed in flames. “Flames were shooting out of the window by the ATM machine,” Chase fire chief Brian Lauzon said, adding firefighters attacked the blaze aggressively and managed to knock it down before it devoured the floor above. “It almost went into the second floor. It started burning the carpet in the lawyer’s office upstairs and we knocked it

down before it got worse.” Lauzon said the point of origin was the front entranceway at 746 Shuswap Ave., where the automatic teller machine is, but he refused to speculate on the cause. “It’s still under investigation,” he said. “The RCMP will look into the matter, look at the security cameras and help determine the cause.” Police and ambulance crews also responded to the blaze. Lauzon said it will be months before the building will be operational. “There are a lot of structural components that need to be reinforced,” he said. “Basically the whole bank will have to be rebuilt with all the smoke and water damage.” No one was injured in the blaze.

Lauzon said firefighters received lots of support from the community. He said a nearby restaurant brought them coffee, while the Chase Curling Club, holding a pancake breakfast, provided them with food. “It was awesome,” he said. He commended the 12 firefighters who responded and said they “did a good job.” The scene has been cordoned off and is now under the watch of security personnel. Chase, situated between Salmon Arm and Kamloops off the Trans-Canada Highway, boasts a population of about 2,200 people. Lauzon said it’s been several years since there was a fire downtown.

The red light camera at the intersection of Fortune Drive and Eighth Street will now be keeping an eye on motorists 24 hours a day. Cameras located at 140 high-crash intersections in 26 B.C. communities, are now operating at all times — up from six hours a day previously, thanks to a new initiative from the provincial government. “For too long, cameras with a proven record of curbing red light runners and the serious crashes they cause were not operating at full capacity,” said Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General in a press release. “Last year, we saw a record 350,000 crashes in B.C., with about 60 per cent of

them happening at intersections. The full activation of these cameras is overdue and an important step for safety on some of our busiest roadways.” ICBC data shows between 2009 and 2013, there were an average of 41 crashes per year at the North Shore intersection — about half of which resulted in injuries. The data, however, hasn’t been updated since 2014. A red-light camera offence occurs when a vehicle enters an intersection after the signal light turns red. The vehicle’s registered owner is responsible for the ticket, even if they are not driving, but does not receive penalty

points on their licence. Since announcing the move to 24-hour-a-day activation last September, the province’s Intersection Safety Camera (ISC) program updated its data-transmission capacity and increased its staff to review incidents and process additional tickets in a timely manner. Some locations began to operate at higher levels in November 2017, with all locations fully activated by the end of July 2018. This past March, the government announced plans to add technology at certain ISC locations to ticket the fastest drivers passing through those intersections on red, yellow or green lights.

PROVINCIAL NEWS

Tugboat carrying 22,000 litres of fuel capsizes in Fraser Responders worked Tuesday to set up booms and pads around the vessel CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The smell of diesel filled the air as crews worked to recover a capsized tugboat that spilled as much as 22,000 litres of the fuel in the Fraser River between Vancouver and Richmond on Tuesday. Canadian Coast Guard spokesman Dan Bate said it’s not yet known what caused the George H. Ledcor tug to capsize early Tuesday, just east of Vancouver International Airport. There were four people aboard the vessel and all were rescued by the crew on a nearby tug, Bate said. The capsized vessel is part of a gravel tug-and-tow operation, but it was not towing a barge at the time. The vessel was about threequarters submerged and had been secured to pilings, Bate said. While the tug’s fuel capacity is 22,000 litres, he said crews are still assessing the total volume of the fuel spill.

It’s unclear what the impact of the spill will be on the ecosystem, which is at the north arm of the salmonbearing Fraser River. “Right now it’s too early to see what that looks like. Obviously it will depend on the quantities and actions that are taken,’’ Bate said. Booms and absorbent pads were placed around the vessel on Tuesday by the coast guard and Western Canada Marine Response Corporation, the organization responsible for responding to oil spills and other marine disasters along the B.C. coast. Michael Lowry with Western Canada Marine Response said the company has been retained by Ledcor, which operates the tug, and about 15 bags of the absorbent pads have already been collected. He said the pads are put in place when there is a “light sheen’’ on the water, adding it was impossible to tell how much diesel had been soaked up.

University drops mandatory ban on sex outside of heterosexual marriage CANADIAN PRESS

LANGLEY — A Christian university in British Columbia will no longer require students to adhere to a covenant forbidding sex outside of heterosexual marriage. The board of governors at Trinity Western University voted last week to make the school’s “community covenant’’ voluntary for students this school year. The private post-secondary institution in Langley had proposed a law school in 2012 and applied to provincial law societies for accreditation, but was denied in British Columbia and Ontario because of the covenant. In June, the Supreme Court of

Canada ruled requiring a person to behave contrary to their sexual identity is “degrading and disrespectful,’’ in two landmark decisions that said law societies have the right to deny accreditation to the proposed law school. The high court said law societies in Ontario and B.C. were entitled to ensure equal access to the bar, support diversity and prevent harm to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer students. A university statement issued Tuesday said Trinity Western will also work to determine ways in which its Christian identity can continue to be strengthened while welcoming the unique value of each member of its diverse student body.

Suspect arrested after fires intentionally lit CANADIAN PRESS

PENTICTON — Police in Penticton say a man is in custody after fires were intentionally lit on Sunday afternoon. A witness who called police said he saw a man start a fire before running away near the Channel Parkway Trail and Eckhardt Ave. Officers arriving on the scene saw

another fire starting to the south, and while patrolling the area looking for the suspect they heard a man cheering. After a short foot chase, the unidentified suspect was arrested and was allegedly found to be carrying a lighter and balled-up paper towels. Anyone who witnessed fires being set can contact Penticton RCMP.

Sanders won’t Trudeau to hold say Trump has retreat with never said slur

Prime Minister and cabinet to meet in Nanaimo next week CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will hole up with his newly shuffled cabinet for three days next week on Vancouver Island. The retreat, scheduled for Aug. 21 to Aug. 23 in Nanaimo, marks the first meeting of Trudeau’s cabinet since he added five fresh faces and rearranged the portfolios of six other ministers in a substantial pre-election shuffle last month. During the retreat, the Prime Minister’s Office said, ministers will discuss ways to grow the economy and create jobs with a focus on diversifying international trade, eliminating trade barriers between the provinces and maintaining the integrity and security of Canada’s borders. Trudeau focused on the same issues in the shuffle, reflecting the challenges his Liberal government faces due to American protectionism and the spike in irregular border crossers as it prepares for an election in just one year. He named former Toronto police chief Bill Blair to head up a newly created ministry on border security and reducing organized crime; Dominic LeBlanc was moved to Intergovernmental and Northern Affairs and Internal Trade; and Jim Carr took over the renamed portfolio of International Trade Diversification. Trudeau has announced he’ll hold a first ministers’ meeting sometime this fall, specifically to look at the elimination of trade barriers between the provinces and territories.

Two bison bulls wander out of Banff National Park a week after being released CANADIAN PRESS

BANFF — Parks Canada says two bison bulls have wandered out of Banff National Park — just a week after the herd became free-roaming animals. According to officials, two male bison left the 1,200-square-kilometre reintroduction zone last week and have been grazing in a remote valley on provincial land northeast of the national park. The bulls, along with 31 other wild plains bison now in the Banff backcountry, are being monitored both electronically and by staff on the ground. Officials said they were prepared for the possibility the bison would roam, and are working closely with the province and landowners in the area to guide the animals back to the park. Bison on provincial land aren’t considered wildlife in Alberta. Environment Minister Shannon Phillips has said she will protect the Banff herd with a special ministerial order, but it’s not yet in place.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — White House World News spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders says she “can’t guarantee” U.S. President Donald Trump has never used a racial slur. “I haven’t been in every single room,’’ Sanders said Tuesday when asked if she can say with certainty that Trump has never used the N-word. Ex-Trump aide Omarosa Manigault Newman has alleged she has heard Trump on tape using the slur. Trump said Monday on Twitter that he doesn’t “have that word in my vocabulary and never had.’’ Sanders said she “can’t guarantee’’ Trump has never used the word, but called Manigault Newman’s claims “salacious and ridiculous.’’ Trump called Manigault Newman “a dog” in a tweet early Tuesday and in recent days has also referred to her as “a lowlife.” Manigault Newman was a contestant on Trump’s The Apprentice before being hired by the White House. She was recently fired and is now promoting a new book she authored about her time working for Trump.

Bus crash in Ecuador kills at least 24 QUITO, Ecuador — A bus apparently lost its brakes, then hit another vehicle at high speed and rolled over four times, killing at least 24 people and injuring 22 while smashing into several houses along a highway near Ecuador’s capital early Tuesday, officials said. The Colombian-registered bus was travelling to Quito when it hit a smaller vehicle in an area known as dead man’s curve at about 3 a.m., Ecuadorean authorities said. Residents described hearing a thundering noise like the world crashing down on them as the bus struck their homes. Michelle Manay said she woke up and ran outside to see the carnage. “There were some people alive and others who weren’t,’’ she said. Col. Wilson Pavon, head of Ecuador’s transit police, said the majority of the passengers aboard were Colombians, but some Venezuelans were also among the dead. Three people, including two minors, travelling in the smaller vehicle also died.

Report condemns priests for coverup HARRISBURG, Pa. — More than 1,000 children — and possibly many more — were molested by hundreds of Roman Catholic priests in six Pennsylvania dioceses, while senior church officials took steps to cover it up, according to a landmark grand jury report released Tuesday. The grand jury said it believes the “real number’’ of abused children might be “in the thousands’’ since some records were lost and victims were afraid to come forward. The report said more than 300 clergy committed the abuse over a period decades, beginning in the mid-1950s. Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said the two-year probe found a systematic coverup by senior church officials in Pennsylvania and at the Vatican. “The coverup was sophisticated. And all the while, shockingly, church leadership kept records of the abuse and the coverup. These documents, from the dioceses’ own ‘Secret Archives,’ formed the backbone of this investigation,’’ he said at a news conference in Harrisburg.

Pauline Dagert and her 1928 penny as she celebrates her 90th birthday with her family at the Royal Canadian Legion last Friday. MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW

Penny and Kamloops woman minted the same year MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

auline Dagert is a saver. It’s that knack for holding onto things with meaning in her life that led the newly minted 90-year-old to scoop up a penny as old as she is one serendipitous day five years ago. Dagert found the coin in some change she had been saving when the Canadian penny went out of circulation, thinking they might be worth something some day. Minted the same year she was born, Dagert decided to keep the copper coin.

“I thought it was wonderful,” Dagert said. This penny isn’t like most — there’s no familiar profile of Queen Elizabeth on the back. Instead it boasts the profile of King George V. “It’s nice to know what king it was,” she said. Dagert celebrated her 90th birthday at the Royal Canadian Legion last Friday, surrounded by five generations of family and friends as well as balloons and gifts. She could be found clutching the 1928 penny in her hand at the head table, beaming a large smile while discussing the coin, which she keeps in a special place. “Some pennies are worth a lot

of money, but I don’t know what this one is. I really don’t care because I’m not going to sell it,” Dagert said. Lorne Dagert, one of Pauline’s four children, described his mother as a person who likes to keep things. “I think it’s incredible that she found the penny and it probably reminds her of when she was young,” he said. In her 90 years, Dagert, who was raised in Semans, Sask., has seen the face of the monarchy on Canadian currency change many times, from George V to George VI to the current Elizabeth II. Dagert even saw King George VI and his wife, Queen Elizabeth, when they toured through

AND COUNTRY CLUB

Saskatchewan via rail in the 1930s. “I know when I got home, my mother said, ‘She should never have gone,’ and I hugged myself and thought I’m so glad that I went when I heard her say that,” Dagert told KTW. “She thought I was too young.” Looking back on her nine decades, Dagert said the most memorable time for her was having her children — Bonnie Marchinko, who now calls Chilliwack home, Ron Dagert of Saskatoon, Lorne Dagert from Whiterock and Traci Froese, who lives in Kamloops. Pauline met her husband Lorne, who passed away in 2016 at the age of 90, just after the Second World War in 1946 in

Saskatchewan. The two were out on a double date — matched with other people — but noticed each other instead of their dates. “My [future] husband kept winking at me all night, so the next morning he came in where I was working and that was it,” Pauline said. The Dagerts moved to B.C. 40 years ago when Lorne took a job with CN Rail. Lorne said his mother is resilient and an inspiration to her family, many of whom came from out of town to gather at the legion where she has been a lifelong member and volunteer. As for how it feels to hit 90? “It feels no different,” Dagert said.

More space for city’s hospice MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

The sod has been turned on the $1-million expansion of the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home in Sahali. The 4,000-square-foot expansion won’t involve additional beds beyond the 12 already there, but will add new space for workshops and counselling. “Since I’ve been here for six years, people always say ‘do you need more beds?’ and my go-to answer is it depends which day you ask me,” said executive director Wendy Marlow. “On Friday, our beds were full. Today, we have five empty beds.” Marlow said the province isn’t putting money into dedicated hospice beds but is funding hospice care — and the society wants to be able to educate those who want to be at home with their loved ones. “Hospice care can happen anywhere. It really should happen anywhere — your home, long-term care, the hospital,” Marlow said. A new meeting space, offices, a new board room, additional parking and a

flex space for staff are all being added in the expansion, which is being funded by by the Cooper Family Foundation. “The new building is not for extra beds, but it is there to help people in the community who want to do palliative care at home, who may need assistance with counselling, who may need assistance with spiritual therapy, but it’s an outreach program,” foundation president and CEO Nelly Dever told a small crowd that gathered for a groundbreaking ceremony Monday. Dever said the new building will be a space where people struggling with the loss of loved ones can come for support. Marlow said the association will conduct workshops on advanced-care planning and how to look after loved ones who are dying at home. “We get a lot of calls from health-care groups in the community asking us to do training on palliative care or hospice care — just how to be with someone who’s dying,” Marlow said. There will also be group counselling on site. “Kids, teenagers, parents who’ve lost a loved one, so we want to do a lot more coun-

selling,” she said. “What limits us today is space.” Marlow said the hospice association conducts workshops and counselling sessions run by volunteers, but they’ve had to find space within the community to do it. “This [expansion] allows us to do more,” Marlow said, adding the expansion will create a one-stop resource centre with all the information people need to deal with endof-life care. There will also be more space for counsellors, which can be accessed by anyone regardless of whether a person has a loved one staying at the hospice, Marlow said. “We’ll bring in guest speakers when we need them and then our staff will also be doing some of the workshops, so we don’t anticipate a lot of hiring,” Marlow said. The Cooper foundation is funding the work through the winning bid in its 2018 Wings Above Kamloops house and other donations, including some pro bono work from the project’s contractors. “Everything from the plans to the work you see going on today right through to finishing up the grounds after is all funded by the Cooper Foundation,” Marlow said.

Overlander’s Day August 19th • 9am-4pm

McDonald Park

Celebrate Overlander’s Day on the North Shore

Glaciers were receding through the interior valleys of BC, when the North Shore got its first taste of community. Indigenous populations travelled through our valleys, set up communities along our Shore, traded with coastal tribes and waged war on our hillsides. The Shore has seen a lot of change over the last few thousand years. In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s the BC Fruitlands Company segmented the Shore

into lots and invited immigrants from all over the world to come here and start a new life. Names that show up on the 1920’s map include some of our current community leaders. At the time, the community was a mishmash of cultures, originating countries and diverse practices. All of them came for the same reason: to build a better life.

From clearing trees, to planting crops, they

a lady named Theresa the other day, she told me about how she was born on the floor of her family’s “cabin” at the foot of what is now Clapperton Street. She is a fiercely proud woman who believes in her community, its values, and its connections to each other. We agree with her. At the North Shore BIA, we also applaud and support our surrounding community. We

Keeping kids active now can lead to a healthier future

Did you know that being active as a child leads to living a healthier lifestyle as an adult? Studies from the University of California and BMC Public Health have shown a link between getting active as a child and leading a healthier lifestyle later in life. The following tips can help ensure your kids stay active: Get your kids involved in sports. There are so many different sports you can register your child for, from soccer to hockey, swimming and dance. Organized sport will help them reach the recommended daily amount of physical activity, and participating in sports helps kids develop lifelong skills such as confidence, leadership and teamwork. Make physical activity a family affair. Lead by example. Making physical activity a regular event in your family calendar is a great way to get active, stay healthy and spend time together.

Some ideas to get active as a family include: • Go for a hike. Make it more fun by turning it into a scavenger hunt. • Set up an obstacle course in your backyard. Challenge each other to see who can do the course the fastest.

• Go swimming. The summer is the perfect time to spend the day at the beach or your local pool. Encourage your kids to find a physical activity they love. To ensure your kids want to stay active for life, help them find an activity they love. Talk to your kids about what interests they have and find a sport that aligns with them. Be sure to give your kids an opportunity to try different activities to help them find their passion and an activity that excites them. Discovering a sport they love can be a real game-changer in a child’s life. For parents concerned about the expenses associated with getting kids into activities, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities can help by assisting with the costs of registration, equipment and even transportation. You can support Jumpstart by donating at your local store. If you know a kid who wants to get into the game but is unable to because of costs, find help online at jumpstart. canadiantire.ca.

Google tracks your movements, like it or not So-called ‘privacy issue’ affects approximately 2 billion users of handheld devices running Google Android OS RYAN NAKASHIMA

ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO — Google wants to know where you go so badly that it records your movements even when you explicitly tell it not to. An Associated Press investigation found that many Google services on Android devices and iPhones store your location data even if you’ve used a privacy setting that says it will prevent Google from doing so. Computer-science researchers at Princeton confirmed these findings at the AP’s request. For the most part, Google is upfront about asking permission to use your location information. An app like Google Maps will remind you to allow access to location if you use it for navigating. If you agree to let it record your location over time, Google Maps will display that history for you in a “timeline’’ that maps out your daily movements. Storing your minute-by-minute travels carries privacy risks and has been used by police to determine the location of suspects — such as a warrant that police in Raleigh, North Carolina, served on Google last year to find devices near a murder scene. So the company will let you “pause’’ a setting called Location History. Google says that will prevent the company from remembering where you’ve been. Google’s support page on the subject states: “You can turn off Location History at any time. With Location History off, the places you go are no longer stored.’’ That isn’t true. Even with Location History paused, some Google apps automatically store time-stamped location data without asking. (It’s possible, although laborious, to delete it.) For example, Google stores a snapshot of where you are when

you merely open its Maps app. Automatic daily weather updates on Android phones pinpoint roughly where you are. And some searches that have nothing to do with location, like “chocolate chip cookies,’’ or “kids science kits,’’ pinpoint your precise latitude and longitude — accurate to the square foot — and save it to your Google account. The privacy issue affects some two billion users of devices that run Google’s Android operating software and hundreds of millions of worldwide iPhone users who rely on Google for maps or search. Storing location data in violation of a user’s preferences is

wrong, said Jonathan Mayer, a Princeton computer scientist and former chief technologist for the Federal Communications Commission’s enforcement bureau. A researcher from Mayer’s lab confirmed the AP’s findings on multiple Android devices; the AP conducted its own tests on several iPhones that found the same behaviour. “If you’re going to allow users to turn off something called ‘Location History,’ then all the places where you maintain location history should be turned off,’’ Mayer said. “That seems like a pretty

It’s your money and our reputation. We take both seriously.

straightforward position to have.’’ Google says it is being perfectly clear. “There are a number of different ways that Google may use location to improve people’s experience, including: Location History, Web and App Activity, and through device-level Location Services,’’ a Google spokesperson said in a statement to the AP. “We provide clear descriptions of these tools, and robust controls so people can turn them on or off, and delete their histories at any time.’’ To stop Google from saving these location markers, the company says, users can turn off another setting, one that does

not specifically reference location information. Called “Web and App Activity’’ and enabled by default, that setting stores a variety of information from Google apps and websites to your Google account. When paused, it will prevent activity on any device from being saved to your account. But leaving “Web & App Activity’’ on and turning “Location History’’ off only prevents Google from adding your movements to the “timeline,’’ its visualization of your daily travels. It does not stop Google’s collection of other location markers. You can delete these location markers by hand, but it’s a painstaking process since you have to select them individually, unless you want to delete all of your stored activity. You can see the stored location markers on a page in your Google account at myactivity.google.com, although they’re typically scattered under several different headers, many of which are unrelated to location. To demonstrate how powerful these other markers can be, the AP created a visual map of the movements of Princeton postdoctoral researcher Gunes Acar, who carried an Android phone with Location history off, and shared a record of his Google account. The map includes Acar’s train commute on two trips to New York and visits to The High Line park, Chelsea Market, Hell’s Kitchen, Central Park and Harlem. To protect his privacy, the AP didn’t plot the most telling and frequent marker — his home address. Huge tech companies are under increasing scrutiny over their data practices, following a series of privacy scandals at Facebook and new data-privacy rules recently adopted by the European Union.

Turkey tries to contain crisis but currency falling Turkish lira hit record low on Sunday as investors grow worried SUZAN FRASER

ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey’s central bank took action Monday to free up cash for banks as the country grapples with a currency crisis sparked by concerns over President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s economic policies and a trade and diplomatic dispute with the United States. The Turkish lira has nosedived over the past week, accelerating a months-long decline, and tumbled another seven per cent on Monday as the central bank’s measures failed to restore market confidence. Investors are worried about a confluence of factors: the country’s reliance on foreign loans that may stop flowing in as interest rates rise in other economies, like the U.S.; Erdogan’s insistence that the central bank not raise interest rates, as most independent analysts say it should; and a spat with the U.S. that has led to sanctions and the fear of greater isolation from longtime allies in the West. The uncertainty pushed down world stock markets and briefly caused a sharp drop in the currencies of other emerging countries, like South Africa

and India, amid concerns that investors might see similar problems in their economies. The lira hit a record low of 7.23 per dollar late Sunday after Erdogan remained defiant in his economic policies and the standoff against the United States, a NATO ally. “Turkey is faced with an economic siege,’’ Erdogan said Monday, in the latest of a series of speeches. “We are taking the necessary steps against these attacks and will continue to do so.’’ He has threatened to seek new alliances — a veiled hint at closer ties with Russia — and warned of drastic measures if businesses withdraw foreign currency from banks. Erdogan also ruled out the possibility of higher interest rates, as they can slow economic growth. But independent analysts say higher rates are needed urgently to stabilize the currency and Erdogan’s hard line is one of the reasons investors are worrying. Erdogan won a second term in office in June under a new system of government that gives him sweeping powers. He has used his new power to put pressure on the central bank to not raise rates.

On Monday, the central bank announced a series of measures to “provide all the liquidity the banks need’’ — but offered no hint of a rate increase. The moves are meant to grease the financial system, ease worries about trouble at banks and keep them providing loans to people and businesses. In times of high uncertainty, banks tend to shy away from lending to each other. A socalled credit crunch, a lack of daily liquidity, can cause a bank to collapse. Simon Derrick, chief currency strategist at BNY Mellon, said the central bank’s measures are unlikely to be enough. In the absence of a decisive rate increase, he said, “it is ... hard to look at these announcements as being anything more than temporary calming measures, rather than solutions to the problems at hand.’’ The lira has now dropped some 45 per cent this year. Part of the concerns about Turkey are the same as other emerging markets. As interest rates rise in the U.S., investors pull their money out of countries that had enjoyed strong economic growth but are perceived as somewhat riskier.

Google tracks Calif. fires may make U.S. users even insurance harder to get when location settings off UNITED STATES

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — California homeowners may find themselves facing insurance headaches even if their houses weren’t affected by this year’s blazes. The California Department of Insurance had already warned this year that the increasing number and severity of wildfires were making it harder for homeowners in the state to find and hold onto insurance. And now it says the most recent massive fires — nearly 20 blazes are burning across the state, with 20,000 people under evacuation orders — may make the problem more acute. “We are not at a crisis point yet, but you can see where the trends are going,’’ California Insurance Commissioner David Jones said in an interview. He said he expects more

insurance companies to opt not to renew policies or to simply stop writing homeowners policies in areas with the highest fire risk. He also anticipates rate increases, and for parts of the state to be reclassified from safe to high-risk. State officials don’t track exactly how many people are dropped by their insurance companies, but the number of homeowners complaining about it happening more than tripled from 2010 to 2016. The problem is most pronounced in high-risk fire areas. In the 24 California counties with the highest fire risk, the number of non-renewals increased 15 per cent from 2015 to 2016, according to a Department of Insurance report. Insurers dropped more than 10,000 policies in those counties in 2016.

From A23

Last year, the business news site Quartz found that Google was tracking Android users by collecting the addresses of nearby cellphone towers even if all location services were off. Google changed the practice and insisted it never recorded the data anyway. Critics say Google’s insistence on tracking its users’ locations stems from its drive to boost advertising revenue. “They build advertising information out of data,’’ said Peter Lenz, the senior geospatial analyst at Dstillery, a rival advertising technology company. “More data for them presumably means more profit.’’ The AP learned of the issue from a student’s blog post.

Spencer leaps to gold at nationals STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Bazil Spencer’s natural talent caught Dylan Armstrong’s eye. The Kamloops Track and Field club coach saw Spencer soar to a second-place finish in senior boys’ high jump at the B.C. High School Track and Field Championships in Langley on June 1. Spencer, from Quesnel, was asked to come to the Tournament Capital to train with Armstrong ahead of the National Legion Track and Field Championships, which wrapped up on the weekend in Brandon. “I was jumping in running shoes and jumping 1.90 [metres] with no technique,” Spencer said. “He took me in and has been training me. It’s crazy. “He got me some high jump spikes. I didn’t even know those

existed. We did some weightlifting. I just trusted him and he got me going pretty high.” Spencer, who turns 17 in December, went high enough

to win gold at nationals on the weekend, clearing 2.01 metres to finish atop the podium in the under-18 division with the personal-best leap.

“I don’t even know how to explain it,” Spencer said. “Just a couple months ago, I was going into high school provincials and I was ranked 12th. “To be here is crazy, let alone winning it. It’s just awesome.” Spencer was nearly eliminated at 1.89 metres on the weekend. The mark he used to time his run-up became stuck on another competitor’s foot. With his timing off on his first attempt, Spencer failed to clear the bar. Officials allowed him to reset the mark prior to his second jump, but the timer was running and his rushed effort came up short. “I was really nervous because I knew I had to make it on the third, but I cleared it, so it was

all good,” Spencer said. Aiden Grout, who was also representing B.C., was the last athlete in Spencer’s way, but he stalled at 1.95 metres. Spencer secured gold when he jumped 1.98 metres, but kept on going to eclipse his former personal-best mark of 2.0 metres. “He pretty much hasn’t jumped at all, having done, like, four competitions,” said Armstrong, who won bronze in shot put at the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Beijing. “He’s definitely a super talent and it shows today, to come out to nationals and set a personal best.” Spencer, who has been attending Correlieu secondary in Quesnel, is considering moving to Kamloops this summer in time for his Grade 12 year. “I’d like to do that,” he said. “There is way more opportunity to train.”

Boosting morale is likely more important than teaching Xs and Os this week for the Kamloops Broncos’ coaching staff. The Vancouver Island Raiders of Nanaimo hammered the visiting Broncos 42-0 on Saturday. Kamloops (0-2) was not expected to win, but it went to Vancouver Island aiming to improve on a 56-6 defeat to the Okanagan Sun at Hillside Stadium in Week 1. Broncos’ head coach Brad Yamaoka struggled to find positives in recapping the Week 2 loss and said his team did not play well. “The mindset of our guys is kind of the key,” Yamaoka said. “We don’t want them to fall into the trap of, ‘This is my teammate’s problem. I’m playing well,’ where you start pointing at everybody else for what’s going on. “We’re struggling to find our identity.” Kamloops will play host to the Westshore Rebels of Langford at Hillside on Saturday, providing smoke from wildfires burning across the province

dissipates and air quality improves. Game time is slated for 6 p.m. The Broncos made a quarterback change last weekend, starting Rylan Matters over 18-year-old rookie Reid Vankoughnett, who made his junior football debut in the loss to the Sun. “He [Rylan] provided a little bit of a spark and a little bit more of a sense of calm back there, as well, in that he was able to handle a bit of the pressure a bit better,” Yamaoka said. “We’ll see how it goes this week. It looks like Rylan will probably start, but we’re not 100 per cent sure yet.” Matters completed 11 of 27 passes for 130 yards and one interception on Saturday. Vankoughnett was 4-for-22 for 27 yards and one interception against the Sun, but dropped passes did not help those numbers. Yamaoka was contemplating cancelling Tuesday night practice due to poor air quality, a decision made after KTW’s press deadline. Considering how much work needs to be done, smoke rolling in this week seems like football deities booting the Broncos while they’re down. “Westshore provides a unique chal-

lenge in how they run their defence and the offence they run, as well,” Yamaoka said. “Hopefully, we can get outside and get a few reps in.” The Broncos’ bench boss was displeased with his team’s work ethic at practice last week and voiced his concern after the loss on Vancouver Island. “After the game, I said we played exactly the way we practised,” Yamaoka said. “I’ve challenged some of the guys this week to pick up the pace.” The Sun and Rebels, each of whom have posted a win and a tie, sit tied atop league standings. Three teams — the Raiders, Langley Rams and Valley Huskers of Chilliwack — are tied for second place with one win and one loss apiece. Kamloops is alone in the basement. “It gets a little frustrating, at times, because we do have a group with some talented kids,” Yamaoka said. “It’s just a matter of putting it all together. “It’s the little things. If we can fix them and start playing as a group, we’ll be a little farther ahead. “Right now, we’re playing like individuals.”

Jays add reliever to bullpen THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays acquired right-handed relief prospect Bryan Baker from the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday in a move that completes last month’s trade of reliever Seunghwan Oh. The Blue Jays traded Oh to Colorado on July 26 in exchange for prospects Chad Spanberger, Forrest Wall and now Baker, who was listed as a player to be named later in the initial deal.

Baker, 23, made 43 relief appearances this season for the single-A Lancaster JetHawks of the California League, posting a 4-2 record with one save and a 3.80 earned-run average. An 11th-round pick by the Rockies in the 2016 draft, Baker has 58 strikeouts in 45 innings pitched this year. He has a career minor league record of 14-8 in 80 games, including 13 starts, a 3.73 ERA and 156 strikeouts in 147 1/3 innings pitched.

Vancouver, Toronto to clash in Canadian final decider NEIL DAVIDSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Toronto FC and the Vancouver Whitecaps face off for more than a trophy Wednesday in the second leg of the Canadian Championship final. While the Voyageurs Cup comes with a US$50,000 bonus, the real prize is entry into the CONCACAF Champions League, which can boost both a team’s bottom line and reputation. “We’ve aspired to be one of the leading teams in this league and to me that means you’ve got be playing in the CONCACAF [Champions League],’’ Toronto FC president Bill Manning said. Toronto (2018) and Montreal (2015) have both made it to the final of the regional club competition. Vancouver (2017) advanced as far as the semifinals. “Our players want to always try to measure their value and where they’re at with the best teams in our region, which typically come from Mexico,’’ Toronto coach Greg

Vanney said. “And the way to do that is through Champions League, more times than not. “For sure it’s another trophy but it’s also the one trophy which — in the modern version of [the competition] — has always eluded MLS teams. And so I think the first team to get to that and the [FIFA] Club Championship would be a huge statement for our league and the progress of our league. And I know we all want to be the first.’’ Toronto and Vancouver will decide the Canadian entry into next year’s CONCACAF Champions League when they meet Wednesday. The Whitecaps enter the second leg at a disadvantage after conceding two away goals to Toronto in a 2-2 tie last week at B.C. Place Stadium. The tying marker was a painful own goal by former TFC defender Doneil Henry, who headed the ball into his own net in the 96th minute (Henry suffered a self-inflicted

broken hand postmatch). Vancouver likely deserved better after playing with 10 men in the wake of Brazilian midfielder Felipe’s red card in first-half stoppage time. The first-leg result means Vancouver needs to win Wednesday or score at least three goals in a draw to lift the Voyageurs Cup. Another 2-2 tie would send the series to extra time and, if needed, a penalty shootout. Vancouver is riding high after a 2-1 weekend win in Portland that snapped the Timbers’ 15-match (10-0-5) unbeaten streak. The Caps are unbeaten in their last five games (3-0-2) in all competitions. “But we’re under no illusions. We know [Wednesday’s] game, as Greg puts it, is on their terms. I’m sure he’s very confident with the position that they’re in,’’ Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson said Tuesday. “We knew we were underdogs going into the first game. We’ll just quietly go about

LITTLE LEAGUE PLAYER FROM SURREY TO MISS WORLD SERIES DUE TO IMMIGRATION CONCERNS MELISSA COUTO

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Canada will be without one of its top players at the Little League World Series in Pennsylvania this week as Dio Gama and his family await a review of their immigration status. The Whalley Major Allstars, based in Surrey, will be without the 13-yearold outfielder after a federal judge ordered a review of the family’s case last month. Gama, born in the United States to Mexican parents, has lived in Canada for three years. But the family’s case is complicated in part by a drug-related charge and guilty plea by Dio’s father, Noe, that led to his deportation from the U.S. in 1997 and a 60-month prison term in Mexico. “I think the issue is that his lawyers are advising that there’s a chance that they wouldn’t let Dio back into Canada [if he goes into the U.S.],’’ Whalley Little League president Gavin Burke told The Canadian Press in a phone interview from B.C. on Tuesday. “So that’s the issue. We’re not positive that Dio has the papers to get back into Canada.’’ The Whalley Allstars tore through

the competition at the national championship last week in Mirabel, Que., going 6-0 through the roundrobin stage before downing Ontario 8-2 in a semifinal and Nova Scotia 11-0 in the title game on Saturday. Gama was instrumental in the final — which was over after four innings because of the mercy rule — going 2-for-3 with four RBIs and two runs scored to help give Whalley its sixth national title in program history and first trip to the Little League World Series since 2006. “I think they’re very disappointed and they miss the boy,’’ Burke said of the team’s reaction when Gama told them he wasn’t able to travel with them to Williamsport. “I think they’d love to see Dio back with them. “He’s part of the team. The kids have been together since the beginning of June ... I would expect that there’s a void.’’ Canada begins play at the Little League World Series against Panama on Friday. The event starts on Thursday. Teams from B.C. have won 13 of the last 14 national Little League titles and 26 overall since the national tournament started in 1958. A Canadian team never has won the Little League World Series.

our business. We know we can produce performances when it matters, when it needs. But it will come down to the players. Every game is based on the players.’’ Vancouver star teenager Aphonso Davies trained briefly Tuesday after missing the Portland with a right hip flexor strain. “Not great,’’ was Robinson’s assessment of Davies’ condition. Toronto’s 3-2 home

loss Sunday to New York City FC, meanwhile, ended a sixgame unbeaten (4-0-2) run in all competitions. Toronto has won the Canadian Championship six times, including the last two years, since the competition kicked off in 2008. Vancouver has hoisted the trophy once — in 2015 — and finished runner-up on six occasions.

Golden age coming for Canadian sports? GREGORY STRONG

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The number of teenage Canadian athletes seemingly on the precipice of big things in high-visibility sports appears to be at its highest level in recent memory. The tennis scene includes Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger-Aliassime. R.J. Barrett has NBA scouts drooling. Soccer player Alphonso Davies has superstar potential and Taylor Ruck is the real deal in the pool. “I’ve never seen something like this across that breadth of sport in Canadian history,’’ said longtime CBC sports broadcaster Scott Russell. “Certainly not since I’ve been covering it.’’ In a country that pumps out star hockey players with regularity, other high-profile sports are also getting a turn in the spotlight. Shapovalov rocketed up the rankings last year after a breakout performance at the Rogers Cup in

Denis Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont., is among a promising crop of up-and-coming athletes in Canada.

Montreal. The 19-yearold from Richmond Hill, Ont., could share the tennis spotlight in future seasons with Montreal’s AugerAliassime, a former U.S. Open junior champ who just turned 18. “I’ve been around the game a long time,’’ said Rogers Cup tournament director and former ATP Tour player Karl Hale. “To have two players that are potential top-10, top-five players is tremendous for the future of tennis in Canada.’’ On the basketball scene, Barrett is a good bet to go first overall in next year’s NBA draft. The six-footseven swingman from

Mississauga, Ont., appears primed to excel as an 18-year-old freshman at Duke. Davies, from Edmonton, is only 17 and has already displayed standout form with the Vancouver Whitecaps, earning a spot in this year’s MLS all-star game. The team recently reached an MLS record transfer agreement for Davies with Germany’s Bayern Munich that could total over US$22 million. Ruck, an 18-year-old from Kelowna, won a Canadian record five medals at last week’s Pan Pacific Swimming Championships in Tokyo. She could be a podium favourite at the 2020 Tokyo Games. “We’re becoming

major players in those major international sports that a lot of people consume,’’ Russell said. It’s also easy to forget swimmer Penny Oleksiak is still in her teens. She was only 16 when she won four medals at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Some Canadian youngsters are barely out of their teenage years and continue to show that their early success was no fluke. Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid, 21, has averaged over a point a game in all three of his NHL seasons. Golfer Brooke Henderson, who was 18 when she won a major two years ago, already has six LPGA Tour titles. Sprinter Andre De Grasse, 23, has been hampered by injuries of late but raced to three medals two years ago at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. “We’re really maturing as a sporting nation,’’ Russell said in a recent interview. “We’re no longer [just] about skiing, skating and sliding.

We’re about all of these other things.’’ It’s difficult to pinpoint a specific reason why Canadian youngsters are blossoming on the sports scene. Funding, amateur investment, additional professional franchises, and changing demographics are just some of the factors. The effect from the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver — where Canada led all countries with 14 gold medals — cannot be understated. “Believe me, I’ve seen it over the years — nothing inspires young boys and girls, men and women, [more] than winning or when they see a Canadian win,’’ said veteran sports broadcaster Brian Williams of TSN. “That’s what inspires them.’’ The Ontario capital has been spoiled of late with Shapovalov and Auger-Aliassime playing at the Rogers Cup and Barrett in town this week for preseason games. Davies is nursing a hip flexor injury but could suit up for the Whitecaps

Talking Rock to host provincial event JODI BRAK

ognition, but to be able to host a championship like this, the excitement of the players coming here to play us, it really kind of puts us up there as one of the top facilities in the province.” As for what he is most excited about regarding the upcoming event, Blair is looking forward to seeing how the pros perform at Talking Rock. “I am just looking forward to seeing how some of the really good players that are always in contention manage their way around the golf course and you know what kind of scores are produced ultimately,” he said. “I think it is a scoreable golf course, but it is always nice to see when your facility is kind of put to the total test, when the best players in the province come to play and see how they react.” A victory or high placing in the B.C. Championship will land players a near-

guarantee of qualifying for the PGA of Canada Championship in the spring, as well as a shot at earning the PGA of B.C. Player of the Year distinction. The top-placing club professionals in the B.C. event will also qualify for the PGA Club Professionals Championship in Arizona this December. John Shin of the Northview Golf Academy, the 2017 PGA of B.C. champion, is entered in the championship to defend his title. Blair also notes there are several players to keep an eye on during the tournament, including Phil Jonas (founder of the Phil Jonas Golf Academy), Bryn Parry (Point Grey Golf Club) and Matthew Palsenberg (Northview Golf Academy). The Talking Rock Golf Course will be open to spectators during the PGA of B.C. Championship and it is free to attend.

Pendrel back in World Cup mountain biking action Catharine Pendrel returned to World Cup cross-country mountain biking action in Mont-Saint-Anne, Que., on the weekend. She placed 16th.

“To be 100 per cent honest, I was hoping for more in MSA, but a clean race and 16th is a really good start,” Pendrel wrote on Facebook. The 37-year-old rider from

Kamloops had been sidelined since June 2, when she broke her arm after a fall on the trails at Harper Mountain. Next up on the World Cup circuit is its final stop, with La

Bresse, France, playing host from Aug. 24 to Aug. 26. The women’s cross-country mountain biking world championship is scheduled for Sept. 8 in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.

in the second leg of the Canadian Championship on Wednesday against Toronto FC. A golden teen age in Canadian sport might just be on the horizon if it’s not here already. It can be hard to tell since some prospects soar while others can quickly fizzle out.

But the depth of talent should have sports fans in this country very excited about the future. “I think it’s a real sign of our maturity as a sporting nation,’’ Russell said. “I think not only that, it’s a maturation of our appreciation of sport as a people.’’

OH GREAT SPIRIT Oh Great Spirit Whose voice I hear in the wind Whose breath gives life to the world Hear me I come to you as one of your many children I am small and weak I need your strength and your wisdom May I walk in beauty Make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset Make my hands respect the things that you have made And my ears sharp to hear your voice Make me wise, So that I may know the things you have taught your children The lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock Make me strong, Not to be superior to my brothers But to be able to fight my greatest enemy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; myself Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes So that when life fades, as the fading sunset My spirit will come to you without shame.

Joanne Burnell

A Division of Service Corporation International (Canada) ULC.

Funeral Director

I have been happily living in Kamloops since 1991. In 1992 I began working as a funeral director and joined Schoening Funeral Service in August 2000. I am honoured to be of assistance to so many families in their time of need. In my spare time I am involved with the Kamloops Blazer Hockey Booster club. I also hold the position of Treasurer of our Kamloops HOG Chapter.

Brian George McIntosh June 1943 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; August 2018 Brian McIntosh passed away in Kamloops on August 5, 2018 after a lengthy illness. He leaves to mourn his wife Bev, daughter Karen, son Richard and sister Helen McIntosh-Harris (Larry), also in-laws Harvey (Wendy), Penny (Gordon), Frances, Peter (Hazeline) and Ellen, as well as many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Laurie and Patricia McIntosh, his brother Ken and his in-laws Penard and Mary Hildahl. Brian was born and raised in New Westminster, BC and moved to Kamloops in 1974. He became a true Kamloopsian and refused to transfer elsewhere for his work. He spent many happy hours fishing on the lakes in the area, or on the ski hill. He loved the outdoors and spent many happy trips in his RV. He never forgot a fish story! Family was important to him; when Karen and Richard were younger, he became a hockey-soccersoftball-ski dad; he rarely missed games, concerts or school activities. Brian worked for 30 plus years for Woodwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stores â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he liked to say he turned out the lights and locked the doors of the Kamloops store. While employed there, he organized the yearly Woodwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curling bonspiel, that involved all the stores in Alberta and BC, and was very active in raising money for the Woodwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tree of Happiness, raising funds for the ICN at RIH. After the store closure, he worked as greens keeper for Aberdeen Golf Course plus a year at Wells Gray Golf Resort. In his retirement, he became a handyman and enjoyed re-modelling and/or building houses. He found it difficult to give that up and learn to relax. He did enjoy going for coffee with his buddies and looked forward to Friday morning coffee with the Juniper Sams RV club, as well as the camp-outs with them. Hills of Peace Lutheran Church was a great source of comfort for him. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, September 15, 2018 at 1:00 pm at Hills of Peace Lutheran Church, 695 Robson Drive, Kamloops. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation would be appreciated.

She emigrated to Canada with her husband James and children Janis and Walter in 1957. Anne completed their family the following years...the only â&#x20AC;&#x153;comedianâ&#x20AC;? she used to say. Mum worked for over 20 years in the bakery dept. at Woodwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The family would like to thank all of the staff at Ridgeview, where Mum spent the last three years, for their care and kindness. There will be no service but a family gathering will be held at a later date.

Footprints One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.â&#x20AC;? The Lord replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;LIFE HAS TO END.....LOVE NEVER DOESâ&#x20AC;? Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com
